T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Seru M. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Akron, in the county of Erie and State ct N ew York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lubricators, of which the Jfollowing is a specilication.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in lubricators especially adapted for lubricating journals in oscillating or reciprocating parts of machinery; and its object is to provide e device ot' simple and inexpensive construction which obviates the necessity ot' employing oil-cups and mahes it possible to simultaneously regulate the quantity of oil supplied -to all of the bearings.

he invention consists in providing a receptacle which muy bc connected to a suitable supply, und said rcceptecie hes a valve therein for regulating the iiow of oil therefrom. A system oi" tclescoping pipes and movable joints therebetween is provided whereby oil is conducted without waste from the receptacle directly to the bearing which it is desired to lubricate.

W ith the above and other objects in View the invention consists in the further novel construction and combination of parts, which will be more fully hereinafterdescribed and claimed, and illustrated inthe accompanying dra-wings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal sectional View through my improved lubricator. Fig. 2 is a similar View through a. modiiied form. Fig. 3 is a side elevation oi one of the joints used in connection with this lubricator, and Fig. i is a side elevation of a modified form of joint.

Referring to th i figures by numerals or' reference, 1i a receptacle havinga partition Z extending transversely thereotl and provided with an outlet 3. Thisoutlet is adapted t'oreceive the tapered end of a valve-stem 4, which is screw-threaded and revolubly mounted within a stuing-box 5, which is arranged in the top ot' the receptacle. A hand-wheel 6 is located at the outer end ot' the stem to enable the seme to be readily turned. An inlet 7 is :i1-ranged adjacent to the top of the compartment 8, between partition 2 und` the top ot' the and the inner surface of the cup.

'pipe 18 projects downward from the center ot .tension l5.

receptacle, and this inlet is adapted to be con- 3 nected, by means ola union 9 or any other suitable deviceto a pipe 10, extending from an oil-container of any desired form. shownl An outlet 1'1 is arranged within the bottom of receptacle i, and a tube l2, preferably of glass, incloses said outlet, as well as outlet 3, before referred to, and to direct the oil from one of seid outlets to the other. An aperture 13 is formed in one side ofrecepta'cle i, so as to permit the glass tube 12 to be readily inspected. A pipe le is detachubly secured to the bottom of receptacle l and around the outlet 1l therein, and at the lower ,end of this tube is arranged a cylindrical extension 15, the axis of the cylinder being horizontal, having an outlet 16 therein at u point opposite to the inlet-pipe 14. This extension rests within a seniicircular cup l?, and a washer 154' oi suitabie material is interposed between the curved surface ot' said extension An outletcup 17 and extends into the endet' e pipe. 19, having an extension 20 at its other end which is similar in construction to the extension i5, before referred to. 'This extension is seated within :t seinicylindrical cup '21, having a washer 22 therein at its edge, and an outlet- (Not v pipe 23 extends from the center of the cup and is adapted to be secured to that portion ot' a machine which it is desired to lubricate.

Oil is admitted to the receptacle l through pipe 10, and said pipe may have e Value therein at the point where it is connected to the supply, and said valve may be so arranged as to control a series of pipes, each oi' which is connected to a receptacle., similar to the one herein described. yAs the oil passes into the compartment 8 it Hows downward through the outlet 3, tube l2, und outlet il into the exit then passes through the outlet 16 into cup l? and down through the pipes 1S and.l 19 to extension 2() and cup 21. As spaces are t'orrned between the adjoining surfaces of the extensions and cups, the oil will be free to flow from the extensions into the cups whether or not the outlets therein are directly above the pipes, which are normally in position there- Mentally. in lieu of providing a in the drawings,

under. The How of oil `from each receptacle 1 may be regulated by means of the valvestem 4.

In Fig. A2 I have shown a construction similar to-that illustrated in Fig. 1; butthe extensions and cups are illustrated in positions at right anglesto the pipes 18 and 19. If desired, a stuing-box 24 may be connected to ,the lower pipe 19. and be slidably mounted upon pipe 18. This is especially adapted to e used where the pipes' are arranged horicylindrical extension 15 a hollow spherical extension Q5 may be used and fitted and adapted to' work within a liemispherical cup 26. I have illustrated this construction in Fig. 4;.

in both forms of lubricators described and shown the hollow extensions are mounted upon pivot-pins 27, which are journaled within the cups in anysi-iiablemmner. As shown these pins can either extend through the side walls of the cups or through ears lforming extensions thereof.

1n the foregoing description I have shown the preferred form of my invention; butI do not limit myself thereto, as l` am aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or sacrificing the advantages thereof, and

1. Ina device of the character described, the combination with a receptacle having a trans- 1 therefore reserve 'the right to make such changes as fairly fall verse partition therein with an outlet therethrough; of a valve within saidoutlet, a transparent tube extending from said outlet to the bottom' of the receptacle, an outlet in the bot-4 tom of the receptacle and below the tube, a hollow extension communicating with said outlet, a cup for the reception of the extension, a pivot-pin for supporting the extension in the cup, a washer within the cup, a pipe projecting from the cup, and an outlet in the ex- 45 tension.

2. The combination with a receptacle having an outlet and an inlet; of a transverse partition therein having an outlet, a valve in the latter outlet, a transparent tube inclosing and connecting the two outlets, telescoping pipes, a cup at one end of one of the pipes, a hollow extension communicating with the first-mentioned outlet and projecting' into the cup, means for spacing apart the adjoining surfaces of the extension and cup, a hollow extension at the free end of the other pipe, a cup adapted to receive the same, means for spacing apart the adjoining siii-faces of said extension and cup, a securing-pipe extending from said 60 cup, pivot-pins for supporting'the extensions in the cups and an outlet within each ot'- the extensions. .l
